Polyiodide

The polyiodides are a class of polyhalogen anions composed entirely of iodine atoms.[1][2] The most common member is the triiodide ion, I−
3. Other known larger polyiodides include [I4]2−, [I5]−, [I6]2−, [I7]−, [I8]2−, [I9]−, [I10]2−, [I10]4−, [I11]3−, [I12]2−, [I13]3−, [I14]4-, [I16]2−, [I22]4−, [I26]3−, [I26]4−, [I28]4− and [I29]3−. All these can be considered as formed from the interaction of the I–, I2, and I−
3 building blocks.

Preparation

[edit]

The polyiodides can be made by addition of stoichiometric amounts of I2 to solutions containing I− and I−
3, with the presence of large countercations to stabilize them. For example, KI3·H2O can be crystallized from a saturated solution of KI when a stoichiometric amount of I2 is added and cooled.[3]

Structure

Polyiodides adopt diverse structures. Most can be considered as associations of I2, I−, and I−
3 units. Discrete polyiodides are usually linear. The more complex two- or three-dimensional network structures of chains and cages are formed as the ions interact with each other, with their shapes depending on their associated cations quite strongly, a phenomenon named dimensional caging.[4][5] The table below lists the polyiodide salts which have been structurally characterized, along with their counter-cation.[6]

Reactivity

[edit]

Polyiodide compounds are generally sensitive to light.

Triiodide, I−
3, undergoes unimolecular photodissociation.[15][16] Polyiodide has been used to improve the scalability in the synthesis of halide perovskite photovoltaic materials.[17]

Conductivity

[edit]

Solid state compounds containing linear-chain polyiodide ions exhibit enhanced conductivity[18][19] than their simple iodide counterparts. The conductivity can be drastically modified by external pressure, which changes the interatomic distances between iodine moieties and the charge distribution.[20]
